A dictionary teaches a child how to approach a problem and use critical thinking skills by sounding out the word and finding it in the dictionary. This simple task gives them a feeling of self-confidence and satisfaction that they cannot get online.

Kiwanis Club of Bluffton Donates Dictionaries to Michael C. Riley Elementary Students

The Kiwanis Club of Bluffton in South Carolina continues its commitment to youth education by presenting dictionaries to all third grade students at Michael C. Riley Elementary. The donation was led by Kiwanian James Jenson, who helped hand out the books and inspire students to explore the power of language. Known for their dedication to literacy, the Bluffton Kiwanis are dictionary aficionados, investing in future generations one child at a time. The students were thrilled to receive their very own reference book, and teachers praised the initiative for supporting reading comprehension, spelling, and critical thinking. This effort is part of The Dictionary Project, a national movement that has distributed over 31 million dictionaries to students across the U.S.
